Together with the release of the Let’s-GO games, you can now also catch Meltan in Pokémon GO. Its evolution is hardly obtainable without these games.
Recently, you can catch the new Pokémon Meltan through a special research. Once you complete this research, most players face the next problem: How do I get 400 Meltan candies for the evolution?
Melmetal hardly obtainable without Let’s-GO games
The problem with evolving Meltan into Melmetal is that it costs 400 candies. To get 400 candies for Meltan, you have to catch some of these Pokémon. However, in Pokémon GO, each player only receives one mystery box with Meltan and cannot collect the necessary 400 candies. At least not without Pokémon Let’s GO.
Only 11 candies: If you complete the Meltan quests, you will receive five Meltan candies. Additionally, you can obtain six candies when catching Meltan with a Silver Pinap Berry. So, you can only get a maximum of eleven Meltan candies through regular means. The path to 400 is still long.
Meltan as a buddy: You could now have Meltan as your buddy. However, this requires walking 20 kilometers to find one candy. Thus, you would need to walk thousands of kilometers to obtain the 400 candies.
Trade Meltan: You could trade your Meltan for another. For this, you will receive a maximum of three candies.
Using special candies: If you have a lot of special candies, you could also use them on Meltan. However, special candies are rare and should mainly be used on Pokémon that are very strong. While Melmetal has high CP, it is still not very strong. Additionally, you would also have to level up your Melmetal to make it useful. This costs more special candies.
The solution is Let’s-GO games: To obtain enough Meltan candies without high expenses, you need to own a Let’s-GO game. There, you receive a mystery box containing several Meltan every seven days for a trade with Pokémon GO. This way, you quickly gather your 400 candies and can evolve Meltan.
Expensive evolution: To get Melmetal, the easiest way is to acquire a Let’s GO game. Together with the Nintendo Switch, this costs around 400 Euros. An expensive venture, just to complete your Pokédex. Alternatively, you must invest a lot of time into Pokémon GO to earn the 400 candies.
